I recently found a lump just below my sternum. The doctor diagnosed a hernia of some sort but she also advised that due to cuts to NHS budget the operation to fix this was no longer funded, however, she could fill out an IFR for me. Duly filled out and submitted, I received a letter from the NHS asking me to select from a choice of 3 private hospitals. So this government is restricting what operations the NHS can perform but happily funds them for private hospitals
